Between 2-3 August 2018, the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA), together with the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) organised the 7th edition of the Conference on Space Systems as Critical Infrastructures. This year's theme was "Ways, Means, Resilience". The event took place in Mamaia, Romania.

When it comes to the functioning of advanced societies, the increasing dependence on certain space systems places them firmly in the area of critical infrastructure, whose disruption or destruction would generate lasting damage. In this context, the aim of the event is to bring space experts at the same table and build a common rationale and straightforward understanding of the ways in which short and long-term space-related action should be framed for the benefit of all actors involved.

Dr. Phys. Marius-Ioan Piso, the President of the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA), opened the conference and later on presented the conclusions from UNISPACE+50, the United Nations Global Space Summit that took place in Vienna, on 18-21 June.

The opening session was attended by Mr. Toma-Florin Petcu, President of the Sub-Committee for Space, Chamber of Deputies and Ms. Manuela Catrina, Secretary of State, Ministry of Communication and Informational Society.

Among the topics presented at the event were: Romania's accession to the EU SST Consortium; observational opportunities for Near Earth Objects; the GovSatCom project etc.

The event also included a round table discussion on "Global and European Trends on Space Critical Infrastructure" as well as a discussion dedicated to the ROSA Centre for Space Critical Infrastructures.

On 21 November, the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are organising an Industry Day and Briefing on ESA's Romanian Industry Incentive Scheme Call. The event takes place at the Conference Centre of the National Institute for Aerospace Research "Elie Carafoli" (INCAS), Bucharest, Romania.

On the occasion of the ESA „Space Talks” campaign, the French Institute in Bucharest is organising the event “Les journées de l’espace”, between 29 – 31 October 2018. The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) is a partner of the event.

The 2018 edition of the “Copernicus and Space Applications” conference has brought together in Bucharest experts and decision makers from the public and private sectors in order to present the evolution of the most important European space programmes and their applications for Eastern Europe users.
